Quiet you in the RevD seats...

I've recently changed the motor in my BH5 GTB, cost $1500 for the replacement engine from an importer and with a guarantee of some description, and I bunged it in myself. If you have never done anything like changing an engine before, a twin turbo Subie is possibly not the best place to start, unless you have a mate who has done it before! They aren't like changing a Datsun 120Y motor in 45 minutes in a shed with no hoist... So as boon said $3.8k is probably not bad for getting it done by someone else.

I have wondered what a twin turbo would sound like with a separate zorst all the way to the back off each turbo... civilised primary, dragon coming to eat your babies secondary!

A Subaru shouldn't be that low anyway, ruins the Subaruyness!

They are all the same in my track hack. No idea what one's worth sorry!

Might be for extra round clearance, maybe?

From memory all the single switches are the same, I can have a look at them tonight just to check tho. You can also swap the surrounds over if you get one off the other side.

Good to know they're simpler than most MTB dampers these days! Means they might be easy to royally fubar up the damping, but easy to un-fubar as well, which is the fun part.

Not sure if the seals have failed or not, just interested to find a source for them, so I can rebuild them myself when the time comes. They probably need it, as they've done 240k... which probably means the bushings are shot. And I was planning on messing with the damping in the track hacks shocks, when its going. Also I like playing with things, like changing the damping and stuffs, can't be that different from my mountain bikes or dirt bikes dampers! There's only so many ways to control oil flowing through ports.

Curses!! Does anyone know where to sauce said Bilstein seals?

Bilstein bits? Cos I am looking for a sauce of seals etc for them...

Pulled the front door to bits to find out why the speaker keeps dropping out, found someone had half stripped a section of the tweeter wire somehow. That would do it I guess! And also found it still had the original speakers in it, which were all poked. So off to Supercheap I went, $120 later and it now has some cheap ass Fusion things in it, which sound pretty good for the moolah. I can now hear all of the guitars in Megadeth anyway, which is the main thing!

Having looked hard at both the GT and the 3.0R, I would recommend driving both, the 3.0r is a pretty rapid bit of kit. Its also very easy and relaxing to drive when not getting on it.

Nice! Check your inner CV boots, they chuck grease all over the downpipes when they go, makes smoke from zigactly where your red circles are.

Aww stink biscuits!! Oh well, it'll work on Kims one, my one will have to harden the firetruck up!

Is that for RevD only, or will it work on RevC etc as well?

Wanna try my AFM?

From memory its about $17, that might be per plate though, so $34 a car? I had to replace one due to accident damage once, it was about 10 years ago though, info might be on the LTSA website somewhere.

A broken rubber one, hur hur! Ahem, I used a plastic bush and a shoulder bolt I had lying around from my old work, and just hacked/turned the bush down to fit with a file and a drill. Excedingly ghetto, but it worked! It was to replace the pinned on one in the linkage under the car, the big ass round bush at the gearbox end I chucked a Superpro bush in, the funky square one at the lever end on the chassis I just wrapped the end of the shaft with shrink wrap until it was tight again.

Was actually Saturday, just managed to extract the pics off the bloody phone... Painted the TT downpipes I got with the track hack, hopefully can get them on my daily this weekend, no moar cats woop woop!

Yep, thats the one! I'm sure I have some Val ones somewhere... pity they're all in BS sizes, not metric.

That sounds like teh same setup that Valiants have from factory, might investigate doing that to teh Track Hack, front and rear. If it works some may find their way onto the daily...

Got the track hack home, needs a couple of bits to make it go...

Yep, dont loose the Oring, its just sitting around the IACV. Also be careful with it, it is easily damaged.

Lol!! WTF BBQ!?!? I have a memory like a sieve, so usually remember pics after I've finished doing whatever it was that I wanted to take pics of! Derp! I am interested in the results from the silicone TT inlet pipe.
